Jetty

The project

A well-designed jetty transforms the edge between land and water. It creates a place to pause, to step out, to interact with the landscape rather than simply look at it.

What the guide teaches

• Assessing pond and lake edges for stability, depth, and suitability
• Setting out jetty size and proportions to suit the landscape
• Constructing a strong, level timber subframe
• Installing posts and foundations for wet ground conditions
• Aligning and fixing the structure accurately
• Planning and fixing decking boards with correct spacing
